Dear List,
My guess is that this one came to Ohio as a glacial outwash of the
former North American glaciers, or as a modern transplant from the
western US via some rock hound in the past 50 years.
Best,

Hi,
Can you tell that yesterday it was 100.4 F.
(previous record 98 F.) and today it's 102 F
(previous record 93 F.) with 94% humidity?
A nice day to sit in front of the computer at
a balmy 82 F (with 40% humidity) and worry
about odd metal rocks probably not from
space...
Meteorite? No way!
Is this another contest? If so, I vote for
Molybdenum. Yup, Molly Be Damned gets
my vote!

It can be quite granular.

What's "Molly Be Damned" doing in Ohio?
Any real experts (not me) on The List?

Not me either.
But there is plenty of Molybdenum in Colorado. 2 of the largest mines are
right here, the Climax and the Henderson mines.
I even picked up a small piece on Mt Antero, very shiny, with a purple tinge.
Maybe Matt Morgan, our Colorado geologist, can come up with an explanation.
